Very nice park with benches for picnics near the Colombia Bridge (well actually you can walk under the bridge. Memorial and fountain are also worth a look in this riverside park. We took our take out order from a nearby restaurant and enjoyed the view on a nice autumn day for lunch!

The Chinook nation were sad as their chief Comcomly died (1765-1830). Lewis and Clark honored the Chinooks. Now we can see a huge rock, a beautiful Aboriginal boat with a path. Worthwhile to see!
